Which home office type are you?

We all know them: slovenly people, neat freaks, or the guy who only sits in front of his laptop in his underpants. The vast majority of us have now spent some time in the home office. And we have experienced it in many different ways. In our article you can find out which home office type you are.




The Spartan


When you're not trying to stop the ancient Persian Empire from invading Greece, you're very frugal and furnish your home office rather simply. The bare essentials are enough for your single-minded will. If you have set yourself a goal, then you stick to it with full conviction, even if the work seems to be overwhelming. Your motto: "Tonight we dine in hell!"


 

The extended family member


Don't worry, you're not involved in any criminal clan activities, but you are stuck in a crowded living room with your entire family, who are also currently sitting in the home office.

The potential for conflict is high, so you either isolate yourself completely in your new workplace (aka the toilet) or throw yourself into the fray - with noticeable consequences for your nerves and your spirit. Whichever you choose, you're eagerly anticipating the time when you can finally get back to your normal office routine. Your motto: "Being left alone is good. Being left alone is better."


 

The easy-going one



Quickly wearing on another shirt for the Zoom call, yet sweatpants remain your best friend and most loyal companion in the home office. Some days your workspace is furnished with pillows and a blanket, because it's your bed. While you're at work, you'll do the laundry, but you'll also work a little longer in the evenings. You have long since lost all sense of time anyway. Your motto: "Can't I do this from my bed?"



 

MacGyver


The MacGyver's home office is furnished with whatever his apartment has to offer. The office chair is assembled from empty pizza boxes, a paper clip, and 2 rubber bands, and surprisingly, it's pretty darn comfortable. You master every challenge with whatever is available. If necessary, the toaster can be converted into a printer. So you are always prepared for anything. Your motto: "Life is like a bowl of Hungarian goulash: hot and nobody knows what's in it."


 

Der Monk


Next to your laptop, you have an accurately lined-up collection of pens, arranged in ascending order exactly according to color theory. Your workspace must be sterile and orderly, and you work in a suit even in your home office. You're known for being able to solve any problem, no matter how difficult - just in your own way. But you also don't want to go back to your workplace, because that would mean change again. Your motto is, true to your series role model: "I don't mind change. I just don't want to be there when it happens." We all know them: slovenly people, neat freaks or the type who only sits in front of his laptop in his pants. Most of us have now spent some time in the home office. We have experienced it in many different ways. In our article you can find out which home office type you are.
